Cold Basement Walls
Cold basements are a common affliction in Duluth homes, but just because they're common doesn't mean its something you need to deal with. We have many options for insulating and finishing a basement. Imagine going downstairs to do your laundry and not needing slippers and an extra layer of clothing.
Dirty Foundation Walls
Our different insulating options leave the basement looking much more bright and clean. In this case, the customer chose to have spray foam insulation applied to the walls, but we offer options to professionally finish the basement if the goal is to create more square footage while insulating.
Previous Solutions
The customer had been concerned with insulation in the past, but with our home energy audit we were able to help our customer see what the most effective solution would be for their specific circumstances. We aim to ensure that customers are not insulating their home in a wasteful way that does not actually affect the efficiency of the home.
Previous Waterproofing
In addition to insulating our customer's homes we also do waterproofing. More information on this can be found at our other site http://foundationrepairduluth.com
Storage Against Basement Walls
Typical wisdom says not to store items against basement walls due to the moisture that accumulates in these areas. With properly insulated basement walls the condensation that occurs on cold basement walls will no longer be of a concern. If the basement is fairly damp it may be appropriate to consider one of our dehumidifiers. Ask your specialist about what sets our dehumidifier far above the other options.
Bright Comfortable Basement
Having a basement that's both bright and comfortable is something that we can accomplish with a layer of spray foam insulation. Imagine entering your basement and seeing clean white walls.
Foundation Cracks
Prior to insulating the basement, it is important to get any foundation concerns addressed prior to covering over the foundation. Our specialists are all trained in foundation repair and can aid in addressing concerns that may need to be dealt with prior to insulating the basement.
Working Around Pipes
Many foundation walls have become the home to a variety of pipes, vents, and hoses. Fortunately, we are experienced in working around or removing the appropriate pipes, vents, hoses, and even appliances so that we complete proper insulation around the perimeter of the home.
Efficient Basement Windows
One issue we often find in cold basements is the problem with inefficient windows. DBS Residential Solutions offers options appropriate for many different situations so that homeowners can gain efficiency across their entire home.
Insulating the Rim Joist
This area is a common point for energy loss in a home. When insulating the home it is almost always necessary to include the rim joist because of how effective it is.
